Hydraulic Table Cart

[richmondred01 2,239]

Let me first start with I’m not a fan of harbor freight tools. I consider them disposable.

The vast majority of my tools are snap on, blue point and craftsman which were mine and my fathers, some of which 90 years old.

I guess I’m a tool snob.

However, I recently got this Harbor Freight 1000 pound lift table.

So far it’s been great. It’s very stable and constructed very well. 
As I’m getting older, lifting heavy items can be problematic. Between chain hoists, roller dollies and now this item, I hardly ever have to put hands on any heavy item.

My Harbor Fright lift table is the best money I have ever spent!

I've  got one also. Love it. Except,  like some other things, it don't  want to stay up..  And yes I've bled it a couple times...

I bought a lift table a couple of years back.  It’s been a back saver.

I bought one right after my spinal fusion surgery, couldn't get by without it.

I have a couple pieces of wood that I place at the slide to hold it up once pumped up.

Looks like a great idea. I've considered some kind of large jack or one of those tractor lifts that pick up by the wheels, but I like that idea better.

 

How difficult is it to move the cart once it has a tractor lifted on it?

Not hard at all with a decent floor. I can work on it and roll it out of the way to get the truck in the shop

I'm looking forward to trying that.

Viagra for hydraulics! Now there is something that could fly.

I have a similar table and it is pretty much essential.

I bought it when I built a model Centurion tank. The thing was five feet long and weighed 300 kilos so needed something with muscle to shift it.

Now I use it with the tractors and mowers and its really great, like having a mini vehicle lift at home.
